I wish LOL. I watched Cassius Clay and Joe Frazier fight a couple times and then when Ohio hero Buster Douglas beat Ohio heavy weight champion Mike Tyson. I never watched the other than heavyweight fighters. Except Sugar Ray a couple times. I wasn't thought of when Jack Dempsey fought.

An Acadian. Looks like U/SS on the window. Apparently had a 427 in it.

GOOD STUFF...
I thought I had some info on file but sadly lost when PC crashed a few years ago.
John K., had a webpage going but let it fade away :-(  The Acadian behind one of the early '66's

There is nothing in the 1967 rule book for either class but those classes do show up in the 1973 book, so this is a later photo. "U" class is 18.00 to 18.99 and "V" class is 19.00 to 19.99. Both seem very slow which tells me that this car may be a 6 cylinder. Both classes are also automatic. Side note.... Bad Banana, the car in the far lane, was a local car for me. |

I have no idea what Mike is up to. The last time I talked to him was when the car was scheduled for auction. He is really a die-hard Olds 442 guy, and he told me he was going to get back into those after the GP sold. He said he knows Olds, but had lots to learn when he started his GP restoration. I can tell you he was very grateful for all of the help he received here.
But  based on that conversation and the experience he relayed that he had with Miss Vaughn at SEMA, I wouldn't expect those two to be staying in touch. Ironically, a few months ago I found a scrap of paper with his number on it.

Keith, if it's an original and you still have it around, it's worth some big bucks.

I don't believe a 427 was stock in a Acadian. They had shock towers like an older Mustang and without mods wouldn't fit. Maybe it was a stroked SBC?

Christmas 1979, my friends 78 Sunbird Formula parked on the street, 3.8 V6 - 4-speed manual trans. It was a great autocrosser at the time. Notice the little 13" Snowflake Wheels.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
